If you’re willing to expand your budget slightly, a brand-new 2023 BMW M3 sedan has a starting MSRP of $76,000, and it’s literally a lot more car for the money. If you’d rather not exceed the budget, a 2023 Toyota GR Supra costs a little under $45,000, leaving you plenty of spare change for modifications, maintenance, and perhaps even another car. If you’d rather have something electric, a Tesla Model 3 starts at under $55,000, and it offers far more performance and comfort than the Manx.
As a simple and fun toy, we’d recommend opting for the cheaper Restorer NEV variant, which starts at only $49,000. It also gets two more seats, but further details are yet to be revealed.
